Chiseled Face makes one of my favorite in-production razors, but neither of their bases are standbys for me, and the brand's scents feature notes and genres that aren't my jam. Southern Witchrafts also makes challenging scents that I rarely reach for, but their vegan base convinced me the tallow vs. vegan argument is moot, I love their branding (opinionated, consistent, unique), and Stephen made me a Dune brush, so they're taking the game today.
As for the specific soap, Valley of the Ashes is a wet shaving classic, but Anthropophagy is the Southern Witchcrafts scent wet shaving forgot. Maybe it will come back eventually in a different formulation.
